Thankyou for the info, that is just pathetic, who doesn't want to hear the beautiful sound of roosters crowing in the morning, afternoon, evening .....

Unfortunately, my neighbors are soooo mean, they even complain about the noise the hens make after they lay an egg. I said "Oh well, it is what it is. I'm not getting rid of the hens".

i like my roosters to be pretty and if i have too many they beat each other up and they all look bad

Im not allowed to keep roos in city limits which I think is boogus , if my nebours can scream yell slam doors and act like its super bowl every time a games on and get drunk and fight every weekend I should be able to have an animal that crows

OK, in your experiences for straightrun what have you eneded up with roosters ? hens ? I suppose who knows right??

Just an idea?
Thanks!

i wish we could have a rooster! they're so beautiful and they really can help protect a flock free ranging. but we can't have the crowing in our 'hood, which is a shame. i used to live across town and we all had roosters. everybody. even feral ones. it is a nice sound to have in the daily mix, right along with cardinals, mockingbirds and uh...airplanes, chainsaws, barking dogs, etc....

Oh I agree, those sounds to me would be very disturbing, how could the sound of a rooster crowing even compare with those annoying sounds!!!

You can tell them for me that I think they are pathetic to complain about such a little thing as that, they must be very bored in their lives, that's all I can think of!! That's right, the girls STAY!!
